FUCK! The Sargents voice echoed as he rushed by my side ordering people to cover them and so they did... almost a dozen or my teammates immediately came over and covered us...the Sargent took me in his arms
The fuck were you thinking?!! Why would you take a Fucking bullet for me you idiot?!
I was losing blood fast just as fast as I was losing my consciousness...I managed to speak...
The soldiers need you more than they need me...
You're a Fucking bastard you know that?!- Sargent
He took of his dog tag and places it in my hands closing my fists,
Sargent: I don't care what you think but you're getting out of this place alive whether you like it or not...as for this... consider it a favor to be owed...
W..where...are you going...I managed to mutter out..
I'm sending these bastards back to hell...even if I have to go with them..no one messes with my people...he called over the paramedics and just as fast got up and raced in the field just as I lost consciousness...I don't know how long it's been but I wake up in a medic tent, my clothes all bloody, I immediately sit up straight and feel a sharp pain in my abdomen,
Woah calm down! Don't rush!
I look by my side to see Julias, he's sitting there with a panicked expression. Derek enters the tent,
Pheonix?! Oh thank god you're awake! We didn't think you'd make it!
I look at both of them, and immediately remember,
Where's Sargent?!
They both look down, grief visible on their faces and my heart drops
N..no..it can't be..
We're sorry buddy...they try to comfort me
Get some rest...
They said as they both got up and left the tent leaving me alone with my grief, I remember what he gave me and I look inside my pocket, I pull out his worn out dog tag. I flipped it over and read the engraving
Name: Marcus Dane
Rank: Sargent major
Note: to whoever finds this tag, call the number below and claim the favor, your deserve it. 282929107473
I read it over and over again, I pull out my cellphone, I have nothing to loose, I dial the number and a rlfew rings later someone picked up
Hello?
I say in a low and cautious tone
Where's Marcus?
The man on the other line said with a low voice
H..he didn't make it...he gave me his tag
I heard silence on the other end before he spoke again,
H.. he's dead?
He said,
Yes...
I say back, I added
He mentioned something about a favor...
The line felt silent again.
What do you want
The man said
I.. don't know...can I call back anytime?
I ask the man
Yes. The number is the same. Call any time
He man said before hanging up
I stare at the phone and the tag for a good while and put the tag around my neck. At that moment I hear a loud explosion right by me and before I knew it everything went black
Present day
I wake up panting, only to realize I was sleeping in Sebastian's arms and he was holding me tightly. I fall back asleep trying to get the nightmare out of my head...it's been a while since I've remembered that stuff again. I wake up again a couple hours later, I see the bed empty and Sebastian gone. J get out, still hurting from down there and look around the house for Sebastian when I find him cooking in the Kitchen, I approach him from behind
Did you have a good night's sleep?
He asks, I nod slowly
I did...
SEBASTIAN'S POV
I see him approaching me from behind and a small smile forms on my lips,
Sit. Let's talk
I tell him as I pour the tea into a cup, he sits down at the table and I join him while handing him a cup of tea.
Than you...
He said as he immediately proceeds to drink the tea.
Careful it's hot-
I stop talking as I see him drink the tea fresh off the stove. I can't help but chuckle
What is it..?
He asks
You do realize that tea is just off the stove
He looks at the cup and back at me, I chuckle again and shake my head in disbelief
Sorry...it's a habbit from the army...we didn't have time to wait for food to cool down or warm up...we just grabbed stuff and went back to duty.
I nod, amazed by how it is in the army
I see...that's pretty amazing
